It tells the story of Makar Devushkin, a clerk, and Varvara Dobroselova, a seamstress, by means of the letters they exchange; they are in love, but too poor to marry. Its exploration of humanitarian themes led to it being described as Russia's first 'social novel'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBy contrast, Dostoevsky's second novel, \u003cem\u003eThe Double\u003c\/em\u003e was not well received.
